1996 850 Turbo no spark mystery?

Post by eyewillruleu2 »

as is common, pulled up and got fuel shut car off and wouldn't restart. got towed home and went through the basics turned key on fuel pump Dickson for a second and check pressure ect. it's fine. checked for spark? nothing. long story short Newham sensor New ignition switch and coil and crank sensor checks out good. wires, cap and rotor are good. don't know if it's related but an hour before that a female friend turned the radio volume up all the way instead of down and when she did it cut off as in blew the fuse dead. pur a New fuse in and itdoesnt work. also before I changed the ignition switch I removed both battery cable from the battery and put a charger on it. and when I hooked it back up to tried to start the car the little lights on the AC button and the one next to it are flashing?? I'm at witty end! help please!

Does this car have an alarm system, did you try locking and unlocking with the key in the driver's door?

Yes but I'm wondering if the hood needs to be shut as well because I think there's some kind of sensors on each side of the hood?,
